Session outline for Leadership for Change
This thematic session engages with some of the key institutions in Europe and beyond who have been instrumental in experimenting with new metrics, indicators, and assessment frameworks. Highlighting the need for integrity, rigor, quality, and impact in science, the session takes a closer look at some of the leading institutions in the reform of research assessment. The session is designed to promote peer learning and leave the participants with genuine inspiration to embark on similar exercises and experiments at the local and national level. Institutional leadership and leading by example are the guiding principles for the session.
